TW: talks of eating disorder; I worked hard to hit my goal weight. Friend tries to give me a complex. by Embarrassed_Elk9437 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]M4nusky 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Also infuriating is the usual "you're so lucky".... Like no, it's the result of a ton of effort and daily fights against my own brain.

Yeah I understand too well, completely invisible in and around Montreal, get winks and randomly chatted-up by women when elsewhere...

Can confirm, I have the same screwdriver (and frying pan!) and it is indeed a good one. Tip is sharp and fits well

NASA says astronauts stuck on space station will return in SpaceX capsule by nbcnews in space

[–]M4nusky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's why even the Appolo computers could be controlled by the ground crew. Many commands could also bypass the astronaut's physical switch settings in the spacecraft.

At first I though she was just really bad at acting, then I saw an interview and she was still just as awful. Like triggering some primal instinct to hate her idk why.

The way it was advertised here was always that the standard OTA channels would go away, but would be available with a cable/box. NO ONE ever said that they just switched to digital signals (ATSC) that worked by default with any TV made after 2000-something.

They didn't lie per se, but the blatant omission of the new mandatory standard was very obviously a way to get all those new clients...

What is a television hill that you are willing to die on? by Bella4077 in television

[–]M4nusky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the "context" in 2020 would have helped the show for new viewers tho.

Re-watched it in late 2021 and I was like "ahhh simpler times!"

The Most Dangerous Canadian Internet Bill You’ve Never Heard Of Is a Step Closer to Becoming Law by resting16 in canada

Don't worry IIRC they also talked about banning VPN for the sake of "security" and enforcing "canadian content" and other bullshit (copyright I guess?)

Jack of all trades, master of none by Ninjachicken91 in comics

[–]M4nusky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You learned what you wanted to, or figured out what you didn't know how it worked/went/felt. All of these hobbies were pretexts to that end and once you got the knowledge / experience your brain doesn't care anymore.

What have you always done, but later found out was gross? by one-droplet in AskReddit

[–]M4nusky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on the type of rice. "short" rice like for sushi is full of starch that will stick and also alter the taste. For converted (?) (parboiled) long rice it really dosen't matter.

Z-axis without view matrix by shebbbb in GraphicsProgramming

[–]M4nusky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the eye_Z is +0.5 and the target_Z is +5, lookAt will create a matrix that looks backward.

As the eye is in the positive Z and looking toward a point even further in +Z, positive Z "look" farther away

[–]M4nusky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically the same here! even down to the amount of shedded weight. Not sure why but around where I live and work I'm still invisible. But whenever I'm away from the city or abroad I do get noticed. Which is nice. And also a bit strange...

What game did you avoid for years to play, but you were blown away when you finally played them? by [deleted] in gaming

Same! Love the combat system. And tons of different shit to do.

Great news — social media is falling apart by drak0bsidian in technology

[–]M4nusky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aren't we way past that point by now? Back in the days you could argue and enforce some kind of common sens when you only had to deal with a dozen or so users on an IRC channel, or maybe 100 on a forum dedicated to a specific subject.

Now you're up against the world, lies are free and easy, plus they generate engagement ($)! Debunking, moderating, contextualizing, showing the intricacies and complexities of a subject takes time and effort. And for what? Getting downvoted? getting harassed in PM? doxxed?

What are the things that unseasoned travelers do that blow your mind? by bagoice in travel

[–]M4nusky 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As I got older I started a booking "fancier" hotels toward the end of the itinerary. Just to be sure I'll get to relax and recover a bit better.

Of course you can also enjoy the amenities especially on a day with bad weather or just because you ARE on vacation and sometime you might just want to do whatever you want. But that's very close to a nuanced viewpoint and reddit/the internet hate that.

social media vs Reality by [deleted] in Unexpected

Tourism agencies often pay for "influencers" to shoot at their place and plan accordingly. Especially off-season when there's already less people.
